French to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Production equipment
French term or phrase: swatch
Context:
Cette erreur serveur sur l’ERP Protean est la cause de la consommation en mode dégradé de la cuve G233 puisque celle-ci n'est pas passée au stade de gel coloré (JA) impliquant également l'absence du sticker coloration.
L'opérateur a bien prévenu l'encadrement supérieur et l'astreinte pharmaceutique a validé une consommation en mode dégradé.
Les contrôles amont à l’utilisation de la cuve de gel en production (viscosité, apparence à travers le swatch) sont conformes.
Les quantités de matières mises en œuvre dans l’audit trail sont conformes.

Other than watches, which does not apply in this case, any suggestions please?
TIA Chris.

neutral  Drmanu49: I doubt it "apparence à travers le swatch" à travers would be nonsensical in that case.
